Anyone who has taught sunbeams, or primary in general really, knows that there is that one kid who has to sit next to the teacher. For Märia and I that kid was a wonderful little ball of energy by the name of Parker Ghering. He was the kid who knew more scripture stories than the rest of our kids combined, and when he REALLY focused, he could be a really well behaved kid. It was obvious that he did scripture stories all week long with his parents, and probably had a double dose before church. Unfortunately it also seemed he was bribed with sweet tarts to sit through these lessons. With a double dose before church. =) So he was that kid for us.
So I was peeking in to the primary to see how Seporah was doing the other day (a real no no peoples, don’t do that – primary teachers hate it! But I didn’t get seen by Seporah, so it was ok) yeah, peeking in to see how Seporah was doing and she was doing ok, sitting right next to the sunbeam teacher. So yeah, Seporah is that sunbeam. =) But trying hard!
PS – Seporah just pooed in the potty for the first time – at Karen’s house of course. But I got there in time to wipe. =) Go Seporah and Karen!
I have been in Primary now for six months (a counselor), and I want you to know that I LOVE “those” kinds of Sunbeams! I would love to see Seporah and Felicity and watch them with all of the antics you have described. I’m sure I would be smiling from ear to ear. Thanks for doing these posts . . . Oh, also, I LOVED the beautiful beach photos Maria took and retouched . . . and also, I had to tell you that Brett was reading a book last night and I heard him chuckle to himself. When I asked him why, he told me that the woman’s name Maria (without the umlaut) was in it, and he said Maria (with the umlaut – like OUR Maria) to himself as he read. I thought you would appreciate that! (Even though I never, never can make the umlaut work on my keyboard, so just know I see it, and I know it, and forgive me, ok?)
